1932 Ryders' Seeds (heading) The Livingstone Daisy... (Mesembryanthemum criniflorum)... After three or four years of careful trial we have great pleasure in introducing this interesting flower, which is entirely new to English gardens. This flower was collected for us at Kuruman, on the borders of the great Kalahari Desert, in Bechuanaland. It will be remembered that Dr. Livingstone, the eminent missionary and traveler first settled at Kuruman, and we have, therefore, associated his name with this lovely flower .
